To find out how many tons the company is transporting, we need to solve the equation 12,750 = 250n + 6500 for n.
Subtracting 6500 from both sides gives us 5250 = 250n.
Dividing both sides by 250 gives us n = 21.
Therefore, the company is transporting 21 tons.
To find the total cost of transporting 15 tons, we substitute n = 15 into the equation C = 250n + 6500.
C = 250 * 15 + 6500
C = 3750 + 6500
C = 10,250
Therefore, the total cost of transporting 15 tons is $10,250.
